Beats By Dre!

I have beloved mafias!

Just have to wait for a moment and I have completed all my first gifts for this event!

Without no tools etc, I can have them with all help from my mafia families.. Appreciate it, my friends.. Love you all!

So I have collected the golden prize from Home page tab, now the question is how to find them in the New Inventory page?

Let's try this filter :

Ok, I have 6 pages to go, lucky me the prize for collecting first gift from Dr Dre event is on the page 1, because I sort it with ABC and the name is start with an A (Aftermath weapon).

Here it is :

I think that we're able to replay the event..

But let's just wait until we have all 3 gifts unlocked.. Stay tuned!

Where Are My Powerful Items?

Remember about the sweet "glitch" few days ago about the New Powerful Items? You can read my blogpost about it again to refresh your memory.

So here are my current Inventory of this powerful items on my sub account :

WEAPONS

ARMORS

VEHICLES

ANIMALS

I don't have them all anymore on my main account. Why?

Because I have the NEW INVENTORY there and I can not find these powerful items anywhere on the new Inventory!!!

I have tried to browse all items using this filter..

After it shows all items, there are 155 pages.

I have tried to search from page 1 until last page, but I can not find them!

Have some friends complaining about it too.. Nothing we can do now, let's say complaining to Zynga Customer Support, because they are UNRELEASED items yet.

But you can try though.. since it's not our fault searching for feeds. Some friends were able to get those items manually, so let's blame Zynga about this!

To be honest, I don't like the New Inventory, specially when we lost our powerful items..

Also, for a big company like Zynga, I think they should have more manner before forcing a new inventory to all players.

Why don't they do a polling or survey whether we like it or not, etc..

But I am just a regular player in a big world of Zyngon.. just my 2 cents...

PS : Thanks to Imran, Travis, Adhie and some other friends.

Hope we can get them back into our Inventory soon.. or at least compensation..

New Inventory - Warning!

Ah, finally I have the NEW INVENTORY page..
I see the notification there above my Inventory tab.

So I have observed the new Inventory page..

First, there is a FILTER button there, you might want to use the filter to choose which items that you want to see from your Inventory..

Then click on Show Items...

After that there is a "Sort By" options..

Ok, let's try..

I have choose some filters..

and then the sort by ABC.. so here are the items that I want to see...

The items are not highlisted because I don't own them. Most of them are from the upcoming Special Events that I have posted yesterday..

Ok, let's try another filters..

Click on Show Items again and I choose sort by Attack, here they are my current Inventory :

And soon... and soon..

You can try this many times and decide how do you want to see your Inventory now.

One thing that we need to concern!

I have clicked on SUMMARY button on the screenshot below...

Was surprising me that it can give one random mafia Profile and I can see their Inventory!

Not good!

And just notice this, go to your Mafia Wars Profile and see at the bottom. Zynga made our Inventory to PUBLIC by deafult, now everyone can see our Inventory like the way we see it!

I believe that it's for players that have a New Inventory..

They must be crazy to make it like this!!!

Ok now all you have to do is click on "Change to private".

I just see that I have one email from a clan :

Everyone needs to go to their MW Profile page and go to the bottom and select make your inventory private. There is a new inventory GUI and Zynga choose to make your inventory public to everyone in the game as the default setting.

If you want to see your attackers or anyone's inventory that is public simply goto their MW page and goto the bottom and select look at their inventory!

Woot Zynga!!! Not a wise changing!!!

So please be informed about this, my friends... Quickly check your Mafia Wars Profile and if you see it as Public, change to Private!

Accept Gift Box

Today I was doing a trade with one of my best mafia, David.

Therefore I see this "Accept Gift" box on the new Home page..

I guess it's because lots of complaining about the new layout...

Like I said, I like it but I appreciate if they can give us back the Daily Checklist box..

So I click on the Accept Gift button above and I see this.. I can send "Thanks" to him by sending him one of Free Gift item!

Thanks for making this notification, Zynga team..

Will be waiting for another changes for our better game play..

PS : Thanks to David for this info!

New Inventory Page

Yeah, there is a new update on the Mafia Wars fan page and also official blog about the new Inventory page.

"With this new page you will be able to get a better handle on what you have, what you need and what you can get rid of."

Hayden sent me screenshots of this New Inventory from his alternate account.

Here they are :

There is a filter there, so you can see any items you want by choice..

There is also a suggestion button to buy items using Reward Points and see all RPs items!

Zynga made a tutorial video which you can watch by clicking "Watch A Video" or just simply click to Play this video provided here :

PS : You can click on setting and choose 480p to see better video quality.

The new Inventory is good but I think the whole new Inventory is designed so that there are lots of possibility for us to spend our Reward Points!

Can they just remove that part of selling the RPs purchase items and replace that with any lootable items we can get by doing jobs, fighting, etc?

Just my 2 cents!

Anyway, thanks for the tutorial, Nate!

New Home Page Layout!

Yes, some players has already the new Home page layout...

Jennifer has made an article about the new layout on the official blog :

http://blog.mafiawars.com/2010/12/the-mafia-wars-new-home-page-lay-out-is-here-and-will-gradually-roll-out-to-all-players-the-player-updates-section-can-now-b.html
I wonder why the link address is so long?

But nevermind about it..

(image is taken from Mafia Wars official blog)

I also have it now on my account. I must admit that I don't like it! Perhaps because we're not use to it.. or perhaps something else.. Let's discuss about it, my friends..

The new layout has divided into some moduls..

1. Your Mafia Activity

This modul has 2 pages (at the moment) where you can see a flash image that changes in few seconds..

From this modul, you can check your current mafia activities.

One mafia needs help on their Properties upgrade, another one has an active war, and you can also send gift via this page..

One think that it gone is Daily Checklist box!

But thanks God we can still claim our Daily Take bonus from this page.. show the all updates from the Live Updates feeds.

Also you can see in-game promo, sales items, etc..

2. Your Game Progress

You can see your available Energy Pack and also able to use it from here..

This modul shows your current job and latest city activity..

3. Build Your Empire

This modul can show you all of your Properties in New York.

Well, it is cool to have some improvements.. For example :

We can collect our Properties parts and also build the item from this page..


To show all items, there is available one button there so you can go to each Property page..

4. Player Updates

This box still there on the Home page tab..

But wait, now it is ALSO available on the "My Mafia" page tab.

Yes, we have double of this feature now.. from the new Home page layout and "My Mafia" page tab. It's kind of waste, I think..

If I can choose, I want to have combination of the old and new layout.

I like the Daily Checklist box!

There we can see all info and messages about the game.. We can see incoming gifts from our beloved family, we can see info about Daily Chance, etc..

Really want if Zynga team include Daily Checklist on the new Home page.. I'll be waiting then...

Mafia Wars - New Home Page

I just saw this at Mafia Wars fan page..

So we will have the new Home Page now..

I don't have it yet, but VaibhaV has this on his sub account..

He likes it! The new Home page rocks, he said!

Just by visiting Home page, you can have easier access to jobs, fighting, and all the important stuff in the game!

I wish I had this new Home page soon..

Can not wait!

PS : Thanks a lot for the screenshots, Vaibhav!
